Spring in Montana
Springtime in Montana can be warm one day and snowy the next. We had unseasonably warm weather last week and now we in a single day we had of the most snow we have had all season. My husband and I went out and built a snow man. Once we got him done and my [...]
Meadowlark Song
Today I heard my first meadowlark. Another sign of spring in Montana. Tonight I am in a winter weather advisory for snow for the next couple of days and all the counties around me are in winter storm warnings. Another sign of spring in Montana.

Ok Spring isn’t Right Around the Corner
Yesterday I traveled and bought day old chicks to add to my flock. Spring and chickens seem to go hand in hand. The weather was warm and I was sure we were going to have an early spring in Montana. Today in that typical high country Montana way, I got reminded where I live. SNOW! [...]
Today feels like spring is around the corner
